Give the gift of hope

In addition to direct donations, you can support UHCCF by purchasing a gift for a child. Explore our giving programs below.

Grins² Shopping Program

With the Grins² Shopping Program, your gift will go twice as far. When you purchase a gift from our Simply Do Goods online store, a child at one of our participating children’s hospitals will receive your gift while another child receives a UHCCF medical grant. From joke books to plush toys, you can give one smile and get two in return.

Nellie and her mother — **Nellie,** Grant Recipient, 2024

“Naomi isn’t able to ride a two-wheel bike because of balance issues. It was electrifying hearing we received a grant to fund a three-wheel trike for her. It made her dreams possible.”

A family of four with a mom, dad, and two little girls stands together, smiling at the camera. The mom, Jill, has her hand on the little girl Maci’s arm. Maci is wearing glasses and standing closest to the camera.

“The doctors told us Maci needed 4-5 therapies a week if we wanted the best outcome, but our insurance had a hard cap on the amount they’d allow each year. UHCCF enabled us to get her the amount of therapy she needed.”
